A still further which latter handle is adapted to operate the pump,"asboth' of these'handles are sinful p taneously grasped and pressedtogether,

A still further objectis to provide a re-.

movable valve cage,'permitting the removal of the valves, for thepurpose of cleaning and examining-the interior of'the device.

The/full objects and advantages of my invention will appear inconnection-with the detailed description thereof, and are partly pointedout inthe claims;

In the drawings forming part of this" specification: H v f The figure 1sa sectional view of my in vention.,

My invention is; clearly, shown in the drawing, comprising an oilQc'anAywhichis" formed with "a cylindrical portiono10, .to whichfis soldereda dome shaped head 11 and aYbOttO I'TI 12'." Ontheexterior of the cylinedrical portionilO, isattache'd a' handle.=13, which is securely rivetedthereto,

dome shape p the extreme end lfi, of which may be bent outwardly asshown, This nozzle is atjtachedotothe head '11, in a mannerto be laterdescribed. In an opening in this head, I provide a filler'plug 16 whichis screwed intoa member 17, soldered to the said head ll by neansjofwhichthe oil in the can can be ep enish d c/Will. a T esp n pspe ie g ofsist of a horizontally. positioned. cylinder object is to provide a.

Upon the exteriorof said cylinder, I provide a cap 19, for partly clos- 1 ing the same.vWithin the interior of the cylinder 18, is mounted for reo1procati'on,ap1ston 20,wlnch has .a lug'21 secured to the I outer end'thereof. -Thispiston may be coni 1,580,158 oFFi'eE.

structed in any suitable manner, employing leather plungers. 22 or othersuitabledevices. .The device for operating piston 20, consists of a benthandle 23 which is positioned outwardly from the handle 13 and ispivoted at its upper end 9A=to a lug 26, riveted to w the can A, nearthe top thereof The lower end 27 of handle 23' is, pivoted; to a link28v which in turn is pivoted to the lug 2] Se cured to piston 20. Theoperation of the device s as follows: When the fingers of the user arelnserte'd through handle 13, andthe calm of the handpressed againsthandle 23, sa d handle23 is caused to move toward handle 13, therebyforcing the piston 20 in- V Wardly the cylinder 18. For brlnging piston20back .to its initial or outward position, :I ;provide- .a, coilspring. 29 which "is;

positioned in the interior of cylinder. 18 and acts,againstthe;end ofpiston 20, to force the same outwardly as shown."

c, The valve mechanism .of consists of a cylindrical valve casing 30'which is positioned at right-angles to the.

cylinder 18 and is securely soldered thereto.

Aii opening 311 in the side of casing 30 in proximity :to. cylinder18,-'p rovides com-u munication from the said cylinder 18 theval'vegchaniber of'the invention. A cap 32,attached to the top of'cas'ing' 30 has my invention soldered mica pipeI33-whichleads upward 1yandfconnects with' the nozzle. 1 1v at 34 This structure permits ofreadily removing thenozzle 141 .for the purpose. of cleaning the sameand thepipeSS. I

,The valves, proper are co s tr ucted as. fol-V lows: Within the casing.30 is. positioned a cylindrical cage "38 "hich isf form'ed with apartition '39 across the center of the same,

and a partitiO-nyiOat the bottom thereof, both ofwhich are securelysoldered.- in place. The extreme end of the cage is theaded' asindicated atel so that thesaid cage may be readily screwed into thecasing 30 at will. A"

conical openingi42jisj'provided, in the partition 39 whichformsa valveseat and a'pas-.

sagoway leading to the chamber 43 at the upper portion of the cage 38from the cham-' ber 44. at the lower portion thereof, which latterchamber in turn communicates through an opening 45 in cage 38,registering with the opening 31 and the said opening 31 with theinterior of the cylinder 18. In a similar manner, a conical opening 16in the partition 40, provides a. valve seat and a passageway leadingfrom the chamber 4: 1 to the interior of the oil can A. Secured to theupper portion of the partitions 39 and 40 are two U-shaped brackets 47and 18 having cross bars 49 connected therewith. In these cross bars areslidably mounted valve stems 50 and 51 to which are attached vave heads52 and 53, adapted to seat against the seats 12 and 16, previouslyreferred to. Two compression coil springs 54 and 55, which act againstthe valve heads 52 and 53 and the bars 19, serve to hold said valvesnormally in closed position. For removal of the cylindrical cage 38 andthe valves connected therewith, I provide a plug 56 which is screwedinto the bottom of the oil can A.

The operation of the device is as follows: \Vhen piston 20 is forced inthe cylinder 18 against the pressure of spring 29, the fluid within saidcylinder and chamber 4% is compressed causing the valve 52 to be raisedand permitting the fluid to escape into the chamber 43 and through thepipe 33 and nozzle 14. As the piston 20 is caused to travel in theopposite direction by spring 29, valve 52 is closed while a suction iscreated in chamber 44 which opens valve 53 and causes the oil in the canto flow from the bottom past the valve 53 into chamber 44 and cylinder18. Upon continual operation of piston 20, it can readily be seen thatoil can be forced through nozzle 15- and directed wherever required.

My invention is particularly useful for oiling where the oil cannot bedelivered by the usual oil can, inasmuch as the invention may be used ineither a vertical or horizontal position. In addition, the oil may bedischarged from the same, with suflicient force and in sufficient volumeto re duce the time required when a considerable amount of oiling is tobe done. All of the parts including the piston, valve, casing and nozzleof the invention may readily be removed so that all of the parts may beex amined, cleaned and repaired, thereby providing a. highly useful andserviceable oil can.

In accordance with the patent statutes I have described the principlesof operation of my invention together with the apparatus which I nowconsider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to haveit understood that the construction shown is only illustrative and thatthe in vention can be carried out by other means and applied to usesother than those above set forth within the scope of the followingclaims:
